Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 36

~Tia~

I reach out for Lincoln and wrap him up in my arms. I can’t believe he said that he loves me. A part of me wonders if it’s too soon for those words to be spoken, but another part of me believes that it is exactly the right time. I think I love them as well, but I hesitate because I want to be sure.

“You don’t have to say it back; I just want you to know how I feel.” I nod and pull back, reaching behind me for Landon’s hand. I make that connection, and the sparks are flying everywhere. Lincoln’s eyes gloss over, and I keep as quiet as I can. When Lincoln’s eyes clear up, he doesn’t look pleased. “I have to go check on a few things. I will be back, love.” I nod, and he kisses me on my cheek before leaving.

“It isn’t that I don’t love you…..I mean I don’t really know how I feel. I want to be sure before I say it. It’s nothing to be lukewarm about. I me-” I place my lips on Landon’s to stop the word vomit he is currently experiencing. I completely understand where he is coming from, but the way he’s saying things doesn’t make anyone feel good.

The kiss goes from sweet, attempting to quiet him, to extremely passionate. Landon has his hands at the back of my head, my braids tangled with his fingers. His tongue is exploring my mouth, making me moan into his repeatedly. I can feel myself get wetter and wetter, my fingers stroking Landon’s tight chest and abs. He is so muscular under his clothes. I can feel his muscles flex every time I touch them.

I feel my back hit the wall, but I don’t remember moving. Landon’s kisses are intoxicating and mind-numbing. He leaves my lips and starts to kiss me down my jaw, onto my neck. He gets to the place where his mark will reside, and I damn near lose my s**t. The sparks are unreal, and I can feel them all throughout my body. Landon’s hands start to travel up my christ until he has my b****t cupped. He starts to squeeze and knead my b****t. Landon moves to my n***le and starts to tweak it. Every time he runs his thumb along my n****e, my core quivers.

I start to claw at Landon’s shirt, not able to get it off quickly enough. I run my hands up his shirt and across his body, letting the sparks ignite as I go. Landon’s shirt disappears, and I couldn’t be happier. I start to place my mouth all over his chest, trailing his body with my tongue. Landon grabs the back of my head and moans as I go. I travel down his body and pull his shorts down as I do.
